Rumesh88's post in Wisdom of buying a 1980s Mazda 323 Famillia for 400k? was marked as the answer
@urheard2008 Almost everyday I cannot help but watch with envy when a 1979 Lancer passes by my home. It is even quieter than my Axio. That kind of specimens are rare but available. As iRage has outlined, all finally boils own to proper maintenance. My brother has a 1985 Mazda 323 which he has been using for the last 7 years or so as a real workhorse. He has been able to source spares, including things like aftermarket door handles, without a problem from Panchikawatte so far.

Rumesh88's post in Honda GP5 Oil Changing was marked as the answer
1. "Reputed" is subjective isn't it? So why not pay a visit to the agents. After all you wouldn't change transmission oil as often as engine oil. So better to do it at the agents and post your experience here.
2. It is perfectly OK. BTW oil change interval is either 5000 kms or 6 months whichever comes first.
3. No. You do not need a "flush". Just change oil and filter both.

Rumesh88's post in Sudden Vibration While The Gear On D And Break Applied. was marked as the answer
Couple of questions.
1. Do you have this vibration in cold start (let's say in the morning)? During the cold start the engine should rev up beyond 1500 RPM and come down to around 800 as it gets warmed up. Are you experiencing the same vibration without AC?
2. When was the last time a tune up done? What I mean by a tune up is a clean up of the throttle body, idle air control valve, PCV, injectors, MAF sensor etc and check/replacement of air filter, fuel filter and spark plugs followed by a scan. Also check and rule out possible vacuum leaks towards the inlet manifold particularly from the brake servo booster. I hope you are not getting a Check Engine Light (CEL) indication and if so it is difficult to pin point to a particular component hence a tune up, if not done recently, is the sensible thing to do.

Rumesh88's post in Do Aqua Really Need 95 Octane Gas ? was marked as the answer
No you don't need 95 for Aqua. The engine is of Atkinson type which, by its design, has a low compression ratio and hence should work fine with octane 90 or even lower. In Japan they recommend "Regular" or 87 octane AFIK, although whether these numbers are comparable with those of ours is questionable.
